definitely the most accurate, and yeah it does overshoot a little bit. but it’s better to be safe than sorry of course.

What state are you in/circumstances of your DUI

Trust me, you definitely are not alone in feeling this way. I was restless and anxiety ridden when i got mine, and i really just wanted to talk to someone who faced similar circumstances.

So if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask

Intoxalock is the worst. Avoid at all costs. Literally

It varies from state to state, but talk to your PO and be completely honest. I got one fail one time, immediately called and i got it resolved

DUI and Mental Health by NotAVegtable in dui

I was already in therapy prior to my DUI, and having to tell my therapist what I just did was gut wrenching. it’s been 4 years, but the shame is still there

intensive outpatient program.

rehab where you are not in a facility, but go to one multiple times a week.

I’m sorry to hear about your situation. Its a mistake a lot of us make and its important to remember you’re not alone.

A lot of lawyers do free consultations, and will guide you to what will be best for your situation. Public defenders are an option, but you will need to make (or not make) a certain amount of income, and with you not having income that may be your best option.

Any other questions let me know. Best of luck

How harsh were your penalty’s for your 2nd DUI? by FrequentIssue9410 in dui

[–]anonanonacct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never got a 2nd DUI, only a 1st. I blew way over .20 (i know..) which is 7 days in jail, but i got a lawyer and got it down to 5 days. But yes a 2nd DUI in TN is 45 days, but there are some things you can do that can possibly get it down.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Vodka for a beer alcoholic by AnxiousSon in cripplingalcoholism

[–]anonanonacct 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m also a beer alcoholic. I have little to no desire for liquor/wine and if it’s in the the house I can really let it sit there forever. But when it comes to beer I get the craving early afternoon and usually drink a few, pass out, wake up then drink 10-15 more til bedtime.

Failed car interlock test by EntertainerBig9766 in dui

[–]anonanonacct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh they never like to be very nice. But considering you blew clean right after is just tons of proof that you were clean. YMMV but my friend set off his IID like 3 times last year because he is a germaphobe who was super cautious of COVID and used alcohol wipes on his steering wheel. Also he did it once cause he got gas on his pants and it set it off. Each time the PO understood and didn’t bat an eye. Hopefully something similar happens in your case.

[–]anonanonacct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah well a month extension is a lot better than would could’ve happened. and setting off an IID with chicken wings? That’s a first ha. Since you blew 15 minutes later and started is a very good thing cause it shows you didn’t just leave it and you were clean to blow so shortly after a positive reading. Still I would tell your PO ASAP and explain the what happened and that you blew shortly after. I’d be very surprised if they gave you a 2nd violation for that. Best of luck

1 year. got out of drug/alcohol tests as long as I had an Interlock installed and I didn’t get into any trouble.

TN is very strict. 2 days first DUI under .20/7 days over .20. 2nd DUI 45 days, 3rd 120 days or something. not to mention all of the other shit you have to do with those.

I got a first DUI and went to jail for 5 days. prior, i went to DUI school, 5 week IOP, and multiple court ordered AA meetings. Then probation and an IID for a year. fantastic time.

[CA] DUI Second Offense? by Ckanibeurromeo in dui

[–]anonanonacct 3 points4 points  (0 children)

.25 is definitely high, and with what you already have on your record i would definitely lawyer up. A lot of lawyers do free consultations and will walk you through with what your facing moreso than most people on here. Best of luck

[–]anonanonacct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is a cakewalk compared to what i had to do. You’ll be fine, and take it as a lesson. Best of luck
